Tarek and Christina El Moussa's marriage is officially over.

The "Flip or Flop" stars finalized their divorce Monday, a little over a year after they announced they were separating, a rep for Christina confirmed to the Daily News.

The couple went public with their decision to split in December 2016, about seven months after police were called to their home following a report of a man leaving their Orange County, Calif., property with a gun.

Tarek has since explained he was the man carrying the weapon, and said he only had it with him to protect himself from animals as he embarked on a hike.

In their initial announcement, the HGTV personalities, who were married for seven years, made it clear they wanted to be courteous of each other throughout the divorce process.

"During the process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be," the El Moussas said in a joint statement. "We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together."

Celebrity breakups

Tarek and Christina have a 7-year-old daughter, Taylor, and a 2-year-old son, Braden, together.

They've continued to co-host their home-improvement program "Flip or Flop" following the separation. The seventh season of the show concluded last August.

Tarek, 36, recently told Us Weekly that the "horrifying experience" of going through a divorce gave him a new perspective.

"It tests your mental and physical strength and it's just such a painful thing," he told the magazine last month. "And eventually, as time goes on, as you work towards it, you get out of that pain and you see light at the end of the tunnel. You realize that all the things that used to upset you or frustrate you or stressed you out before are so irrelevant."
